New study reveals significant detection gap for urban natural gas leaks
*
The complexities of urban environments-like variable winds off of tall buildings or surfaces-significantly impair the ability to detect natural gas leaks from underground pipelines, a new study shows.
SMU researchers found that detection probability can be reduced by 16 . . .
